SCHEDULE_SERVICEGROUP_HOST_DOWNTIME command not found

[Nighthawkz]

Hi all

I am currently running core Version 4.0.6 & am trying to regularly set a host group in downtime - hopefully as a cron job.

looking through the docs i came across SCHEDULE_SERVICEGROUP_HOST_DOWNTIME which seems to do what i want. except i can't make it do so:lol:

If i run this:

Code: Select all

*/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios/cmd SCHEDULE_SERVICEGROUP_HOST_DOWNTIME;Solaris dev servers;1110741500;1577666928;0;0;7200;test;test comment

from the shell either as root or user nagios i get "permission denied"


if i run it as a bash script (has permissions) as in the documentation here

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... and_id=121

I get a "command not found" output

To me they're both the same thing just run in slightly different formats..but i get different error messages.

Am i missing something blindingly obvious here to get this working?

any help would be appreciated

regards

These are not the same thing for sure.


What is the location of your nagios.cmd on your system?

Also, can you post the output of

Code: Select all

which printf

thanks for responding


nagios.cmd is in /usr/local/nagios/var/rw

which prinft output:

/usr/bin/prinft

I originally posted the wrong command i was trying to use

SCHEDULE_HOSTGROUP_HOST_DOWNTIME is the one i'm looking to use

Can you give me the contents of /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg
or /usr/local/nagios/nagios.cfg

You should be able to follow the doc here but change /bin/printf to /usr/bin/prinft
